Is It Really That Bad? - Tornado F.3 (ft extra spicy chat salt)

[@DEFYN]

For everyone that didn't watch the whole thing (I know you didnt) Is it terrible? no Is it meta? no you're just severely handicapped vs most of your enemies because this plane doesn't fit the gameplay that war thunder toptier is. You can get kills and win matches fine in it because of the nature of the game, but saying it can go toe to toe with many of the toptier dedicated fighters is straight up silly.

[@yujinhikita5611]

the r3r is a good missile like any other early missiles you have to learn to use it. but unlike the others the skill ceiling is much higher. so it can become quite powerfull if you know how to use it. the migs 21s has r3r as its most powerfull and noobs call it bad good players call it one of the most powerfull. and it can use rockets as makeshift flares.

[@dti131]

R-3R is at least sorta usable at really high altitudes but only against people who don't run chaff. It's a significantly weaker AIM-9C pretty much, and on a worse radar.

@@nnteslann1928 it just doesn't you just cant see the chaff at close range so it looks like it locking flares. best way to use the r3r is to shoot it at super close range, funny enough the r3r is one of the fastest accelerating missiles in game, so the enemy cant react fast enough most of the time to either dodge or chaff it. thats in a headon which is the r3r best situation, the other best way to use it is to dive directly down on enemys who dont see you the radar can see targets who are 1km over the ground or even less they also dont get rwr warning. you just have to lead it and shoot at a range the missile can guide enough to hit.

The F.3 currently doesn’t use the radar it historically used, it’s using the weakest Foxhunter radar. Gaijin has acknowledged this, and they’re currently looking into it, so expect the radar to become pretty much the best ingame once that’s fixed.

18:41 Funny you should bring up this specific analogy, because there's plenty of similar people who''ll tell you "It's not the car, it's the driver" in online car/racing discussions, and much like their War Thunder counterparts the people who tout this kind of crap usually don't have a single clue what they're talking about.

[@DEFYN]

Yeah thats half the reason i brought it up absolute spanners

[@HasvenWorld]

In other words: You have much better options, but you can do "fine" Which is enough for me to start grinding it (this fellow only has up to the Vampire, so he's in for quite the long haul of a grind)

[@lukeskylicker]

Highlights of the tree: Sea Hawk is not an 8.0 plane but it fights well, can pull just as much AoA as a vampire if you have proper flaps management. Swift F.7 is probably the best British jet relative to it's BR. It can get a crazy amount of energy with that afterburner, and Fireflashes are a nice gimick. Be careful maxing out the elevator and using ailerons though above 850 kph, it will reliably snap a wing off. Hunter F.1 isn't what it once was, and just as high as skill floor as it was back then, but in a downtier nothing can compete. Hunter F.6 is actually decent at 9.7 now! You have swords in a bracket filled with guns... but your swords are *really* sharp. Stay vigilant, never take a fair fight, and it'll perform better than it has any right to. Mind the all aspect carriers of course. Harrier GR.3 has got good missiles, good acceleration, and flares. Nothing special, but it works. And that's about it. FG.1 and FGR.2 are still capable, though still held back what with it now having the worst maneuverability and armament of all the Phantoms.

[@squidwardo7074]

And a better plane makes it easier to do well in. Just like in a fast car with good handling you don't need to be a professional to do better than someone in a toyota corolla. In war thunder that means you can play more aggressively, and aren't just forced to play like a rat anytime you want a kill

[@HasvenWorld]

We're working on it on the forums. W-list is the worst possible production version of the radar, it's snapping at G-limits it should be able to take (even before taking into account the 1.5 times structural limit Gaijin gives), and it's not pulling as much AoA as it should. It's not bad, but it's also not a finished aircraft. Definitely a better upgrade after three and a half years of the FGR.2

[@glizzyfried5621]

my recommendation is to bind thrust reverser to the airbrake key (H) which forces your wings to sweep quicker and can avoid wing rip as you can decelerate very quickly. Also allows you to sit on the enemy tail when they are slow.

[@Siddich]

what should that help? you just throw away all your energy against ppl, that can outaccelerate you anyways

[@glizzyfried5621]

well this works better with the tornado ids as you cant turn so you might as well force an overshoot. Also at high speeds when needing to get a shot it really helps with sweeping wings forward quicker and also stops the annoying mach cone from blinding you

It’s kinda the issue with interceptor aircraft, they can be good but not meta. There’s no bombers to intercept. They can fight fighters but are designed to take out bombers and attackers. Since you don’t see them, you have to play fighter.

[@medusaairsoft265]

For me it is a good plane. You have to know what you can do with it and above all choose the right place to be able to fly with guarantees of success. I don't agree when you say that it is not useful for dogfights. With it I have won dogfights at F14, mig 23 and F4. Although the pilots of said planes may not have been very good at playing, but there are the victories against those planes. I don't pretend to look like a top pilot, I'm average. For now with this plane, after more than 100 games, I have shot down three times as many planes as I have been shot down, so in conclusion, it is a great plane in its BR. Great video.

[@thombrick]

You actually made me laugh. Nice editing!

[@peanutraider8654]

I think the slow speed could be due to the fact it’s intakes(ram air scoops) aren’t modelled, the IDS variants brick wall at 1300kph because they don’t have them. But the F.3 should…In a nutshell it shouldn’t brick wall at 1300kph on the deck and keep accelerating.

[@cookiecracker2]

I'm glad there's guys out there like you defyn who have some sense in there head. The majority of warthunder players are arrogant, ignorant, knob heads without empathy or compassion for others, not to mention their IQ. I completely agree with you about the car analogy, it fits perfectly with how warthunder is. For instance; a f5c isn't going to be touching a mig23 unless he makes some big mistakes, or the f5 catch's him off guard. Same with a phantom vs mig29, ive had people tell me unironically to "just get good". A f4j cannot do anything against a mig29 if: he knows where you are, he's not stupid, and he wants you dead, no amount of skill is going to save you, unless the stars align for you. Great video as always defyn, stay chill and cool man, don't let people get to you too much.

[@immentallunstable111]

It's a okay plane, that's for sure, but not in current meta. It could be much better if it got added around the same time as Tomcat. The thing that annoys me the most is the radar - TWS doesn't really work as intended, sometimes when i lock up someone flying straight at me and lock them again with PD Skyflash says fuck you and tells me that radar lock is required lol.

I've honestly been having a great time in the F.3, 16v16 battles mean you rarely get into dogfights that you'd rather not deal with, you have so many teammates to cover you that you can generally pick your battles.

That depends entirely on what the enemy aircraft is actually doing.

It’s much worse if you use manual wing sweep, you get warning-less wing rips quite often in turns. Using manual helps eke out the last little bit of manoeuvrability in the plane though so if you just spend a little time in a test flight learning tolerances then it’s fine most of the time.

The tornado f3 feels quite strong imo in the initial furbal. You have plenty of missiles to spam and they have good range and all aspect. However if you don't make a big enough impact in the early game it becomes almost impossible to win in the later stages. If the enemy is aware of your presence and not dumb enough to eat a skyflash to the face the tornado is screwed. As Defyn rightfully put it, you don't only have to play your cards right, the enemy also has to make mistake in order to lose a dogdight. Thankfully there is no shortage of players who make mistakes. I've managed to energy trap plenty of 11.3 and below aircraft that decided to rate fight me. Sadly against 12.0 aircraft, which currently is more than 90% of the matches the tornado gets, you stand zero chance. Even if they make multiple crucial mistakes, they outperform you so massiviley that there is no reason to even bother fighting them.

No matter how bad the plane itself is, it has decent speed, much better radar than fgr2, much better missile combo than fgr2, if someone can get kills with fgr2, then getting kills with f3 is so much easier. The bad side if tornado f3 is you can't win anyone in dogfight, so 1v1 is pretty much impossible for it, so if teammates die too fast, probably no chance to win.

and man, those shit talking failures are great learning experiences... but, if you are able to call your shots accurately 95%, it's okay to eat those 5% failures.... it hurts, and it's embarrassing as fuck... but it's also hilarious content. :^)

[@DEFYN]

no i mean you literally cant get your nose on him in time to launch a missile :) if you actually airbrake turn into it yeah sure you can i guess but then you die anyways

[@ArtietheArchon]

oh interesting you can burn fuel from drop tanks without internal fuel tanks being full. no plane works this way IRL but that's cool

[@notsoracistraspberry4168]

Imagine talking shit when you get hit at 1.14 km away because you have 1.14 IQ and then run for AI to play your game for you.

[@thatoneguy1741]

Damn I can manage to sneak a PL5 through some flares every now and then buy them 9Ls are almost atrocious 💀

[@farmcat9873]

Just gonna say this plane its not the plane its the enemy players"Skill Issue" not the Tornado F3 doing the work.

[@supertomcathornet8233]

Hey defyn im kinda curious have you ever tried dcs?

[@just_violet]

That red wing... seems familiar..

[@kscck00]

Hey Defyn, would you be able to do a video on the British Meteor Mk.4 or Mk.8?

[@maxgilder6078]

Ya imo the mk4 is an absoloute amazing plane, the non-clipped wings version

[@Warthunder-p1f]

Not the racecar talk in the end.

[@cesaralarcon5228]

I told people after I saw it in the trailer, it’s only a missile boat

[@SomeOrdinaryJanitor]

i feel like it's middle of the road, like an F-104 but it's a little better

[@feethelad5416]

I honestly wish to spade it and fly it, but good lord the stock grind is absolutely cancer. You only get 2 AIIM-9Ls, but you gotta get up close for that to work, and by that time you'll probably have 3 or 4 fulcrums or falcons on your ass. It doesn't have bombs as usual, which makes it even more painful

[@vgames1543]

That guy in the chat sounds like me, but I am a Ground RB main.

[@MagentaFerret]

AIM-9L sucks so much balls. R-60M is literally better flare resistance now.

[@Mr_Ghee]

Did you got a job upgrade at Bae ? Congrats if so.

[@hawkeye6292]

i swear this should have a radar comparable, or even slightly better than the F16

[@errornamenotfound2513]

I'm still annoyed that this thing is literally ahistorically using the wrong radar, the worst possible foxhunter radar at that (foxhunter type w). It should be using the Foxhunter stage 2 not type W

[@ferrous3262]

i heard gaijin is looking to change the radar

[@MoskusMoskiferus1611]

This game needs more Interceptor so We can have the High Sky battle

[@MoskusMoskiferus1611]

Also, a B-58

[@_GODSFIGHTER]

Defyn: I appreciate the offer but you get to suck mine at the end of tje game 😂 I love how he said it so calmly which is hilarious Btw can you fly the fw190 A5?
